Embodiment Construction

[0077]The following pending application is hereby incorporated by reference, in its entirety: “SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROCESSING DATA IN A DISTRIBUTED SYSTEM” by Shell Simpson and Philip Verghese, Ser. No. 09 / 712,336 filed on Nov. 13, 2000.

[0078]An example of a client-server architecture in which the present invention can be implemented is shown in FIG. 1.

[0079]The present invention, in one aspect, is directed to implementing the concept of allowing a user's information to follow him / her around, i.e., be accessible from a variety of different locations, both inside a firewall and outside of the firewall, as well as from a variety of different machines. This concept is implemented using one or more user profiles 24 and 26 in combination with the concept of a personal imaging repository 50 for storing user graphics across a distributed environment. The personal imaging repository 50 can be distributed across multiple locations, multiple machines and multiple architectures. For example,...

Abstract

A method, system, and program product for printing comprising the steps of: receiving a print designation to print a document; receiving a description of graphics contained in the document; obtaining one of the graphics; determining if a preprocessed form of the graphic is available for reuse, and if so, retrieving the processed data therefor from preprocessed graphics storage; and formulating a print job.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention generally relates to an improved method, system and program product for performing web imaging operations, and more particularly to enhancing printer performance.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]The use of web applications has been growing over the years as the Internet becomes more sophisticated. Because most web applications are designed to work with cross-platform browsers, they operate independently from the operating system (“OS”). In other words, most web applications can work with any operating systems, such as LINUX®, WINDOWS®, or MACINTOSH®.[0003]Printer performance becomes a significant concern as printer rated speed increases. Ideally, the print engine of a printer should be kept continuously busy, so that the next page bitmap will be available on time. If the next page bitmap is not available, then the printer changes to a non-print cycle, wherein printing halts and a cool-down period begins. This causes an unacceptable p...
